Taking off a bit early tomorrow for a Thursday night college football game. Nothing like tailgating at 4 pm on a weekday.

Watching the kids. Going to the zoo with them and the wife on Friday. Gotta go for a run at least once I don’t know what else. Probably eat food. Oh and I have to change the cars battery

Don't waste your time trying to see the tiger. I don't think it's there anymore.

2 hours door to door. My in-laws live about 15 minutes from the zoo. It's a popular spot when we visit.

I wish we said brekkie.

Two asshole parents from the opposing team at my son’s soccer game today would not shut up. I put my headphones on for the second half. After the game (the rare 1-1 tie) they kept going on and on about how bad the ref was. It was a chippy game, but it was balanced. Also, he had no sideline AR’s. Probably made $50 for his 90 minutes.

I was packing my chair up and couldn’t take anymore. I said, “There’s a ref shortage. If you can do better, take the classes and do better.” The dude goes, “He is out there. We are not out there.” I said, “Right, then just shut up. You’re embarrassing.” His wife, who was 100 times worse than him, said, ‘Who just said shut up?” It was rhetorical, but I couldn’t resist. ‘It was me. I did. Please shut up.” They got the last word in: ‘You’re embarrassing.” I couldn’t think of a comeback.

The best and worst part is another parent from their team was facing me and had his back to them. He looked at me and said, “8 fucking years of this.” And I felt that. They ruined the game for the kids and the parents. It’s one game for us. For that team, it’s every game, year after year. What a bummer.

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.
